Respect is a key ingredient for a marriage to be successful, and you are a hundred percent right if you believe that a marriage can never be successful when there’s disrespect. Disrespecting your husband will harm your marriage in more ways than you can imagine.
I’ve written on 14 ways you disrespect your husband, and now these are some of the reasons you just have to stop.
1. You create a seed of discord in your marriage when you disrespect your husband. Quarrels and arguments will be the order of the day (every day) when you are disrespectful to your husband.
2. You make it difficult for you to truly love your husband when you disrespect him. The more disrespect you have for your husband, the lesser love you have for him. Disrespect and love cannot flow from the same heart.
3. Communication becomes very difficult when you disrespect your husband. Things that should be easily talked about will become so hard to discuss.
4. You create a leeway for various forms of unfaithfulness which might not even be adultery. For example, he could become emotionally motivated to pay his attention to something or someone else, when he feels disrespected by his wife, and this might just be the beginning of the end of that marriage.
5. You make it difficult for peace and understanding to exist in your marriage.
6. You kill his ego, confidence and manliness when you disrespect him. You ought to be his support system and not the one to bring him down.
7. You also give him a reason to disrespect you.
8. You kill the happiness and togetherness that should be present in your marriage.
9. You create bitter seeds in his heart when you disrespect him. Seeds of unhappiness, contempt, hate and anger. These things will build gradually, and will ruin your marriage in no time.
There’s no wisdom in disrespecting your husband, and if these nine reasons aren’t enough for you to stop, then you shouldn’t have gotten married in the first place.
